Playing as Leona

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Engage at level 2

    Look for an engage at level 2: with Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q), you root then stun your target.

  2. Only engage if your carry follows

    Only engage if your carry can follow: Sunlight (passive) marks your targets for 1.5 seconds, and only your allies trigger it for extra damage.

  3. Activate Eclipse before engaging

    Activate Eclipse (W) right before engaging: you gain armor, magic resist and damage reduction, extended if the explosion hits an enemy.

  4. R on a stunned target

    Engage with Zenith Blade (E) and Shield of Daybreak (Q), then cast Solar Flare (R) on the stunned target: they can't leave the center, which stuns.

Playing against Yuumi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.

  2. CC her as soon as she detaches

    If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.

  3. Focus the champion carrying her

    Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.

  4. Cut her healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
